Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the proposed front boundary treatment
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the appeal proposal with regard to the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of numbers 31, 33 and 33a Sussex Road with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with the development plan due to harm to character and appearance from the front boundary treatment, inadequate private outdoor space for future occupiers, and significant adverse overbearing impact on neighbouring residents' outlook.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of under-utilised land did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers, and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
